The "Photos From Today's Ride" thread...

Now that spring's hit the southern hemisphere, the weather is starting to improve slightly. So a trip to the beach was in order:





It looks nicer than it was - bit of a breeze about.

35km climb in Peru.



Great place to take in the view.



Some snow capped mountains as seen from about 4,000m.



Absolutely bonkers 30km descent down to Abancay.

Here's a couple from today's British Heart Foundation Peak District MTB Challenge:

Approaching the top of Mam Tor - those flagstones were rough!


Cracking view though!


At times it was just me & the sheep...


Trails were mainly like this:



Fuelled by High-5 and Haribo!


My trusty stead for the day:

Got to say I don't like the taste of those Minions!

Back on the trail after an 11th hour bike fix. Same bike, new frame.

Just back from Mallorca. Did some stunning climbs including Soller, Puig Major and Sa Colabra. Oh and rode 100 km with Stephen Roche on the final day.

What happened to the original frame?

[Justin Cyder]

It's in the kitchen, sulking. I originally bought a 20" frame. I'm 6' & it's on the borderline of being too big. An 18" popped up on Ebay cheap, so I bought it & swapped the bike over to see if it suits better. First ride today & so far I'm undecided, I need to stick a few miles on it to work out which one works best for me.

…Sa Colabra…

I've driven it but really need to go back and try it on the bike. Awesome, awesome bit of road.

If you need a day off the bike I can also recommend the Torrent de Pareis, a very cool one-way canyoning route that ends at the bottom of the Sa Calobra. Great fun.

Oh I thought you'd broke it

Not quite today, but one from yesterday after trying out a new route whilst trying to sweat out a sickness bug. I'd love to say it did the trick but after failing to convince myself not to chase a bloke up the first small climb of the day I nearly passed out. That decided a slow pace for the rest of the ride.

Photo's from this weekends Snowdon ride.
My preparations for a 4am start and 3000ft climb with a bike and a load of kit was to have food poisoning, eat absolutely nothing at all for two days and then have 1.5 hours sleep before getting up at 4am. This is far from ideal and I had shaky Elvis legs by halfway up - but I've wanted to do this for ages so nothing bar a broken bone was going to stop me from getting to the top.

No photo's from the top as visibility was about 8 foot and no pics from the way down as I was having too much damn fun to stop and take snaps

The descent was mental - one of the most hilarious/frightening/exhilarating things I have ever done.

Got up early to cycle to work...well, cycled to work with the GF, I have a van for work, it's parked outside the house! Lovely morning for it!

Thanks for sharing, riding up there is on my to do list after seeing a car person I follow on Twitter scramble up there on an Orange Five.

It seems a massive engineering feat to build a road down to essentially a couple of restaurants and cafes. I wonder if they had/have bigger plans for a resort there?

The road was incredible. Very little traffic and the weather was mid-20s. I tried smashing it to the top but the previous 2 climbs didn't help. Managed about 40 minutes from bottom to top.
